Metallica - Metallica (CD 1991)

alot of the tracks on this particuler cd i already knew, so was more than happy to add it to my cd collection, great music

great album, definitely one of metallica's best. It has some lackings however. It is more rocky than most of metallicas previous albums, however it still has some good thrashing metal songs on there, and the rock songs aint half bad either.

Highlights:

Enter sandman, a fantasticly catchy song that fans of Deep Purple will love. Not classic metallica, but it is still something that is worthy to hold the "Metallica" name.

Sad but true, classic metallica. This song makes me want to headbang so much when i listen to it walking down the streets, so i have a stress ball in my pocket...'Nuff said.

Wherever I May Roam, a fun song....about gypsies. It's a good thrash song, quite catchy.

God that failed, in hetfield's own words "That's one F***ing heavy song!"

There are other good songs on the album apart from these ones.

If you want something really heavy go for "Ride the lightning" or "Master Of Puppets" but this album is great.

Every song on this album is great. But the reason for me writing this review is to point out how biblically amazing and breathtaking the song 'Nothing else matters' is. It is in my opinion, one of the best songs, lyrically, musically and emotionally; in the world, ever.

Released in 1991, the album 'Metallica' (or more often called 'The Black Album') is Metallica's biggest selling record. Introducing a wide variety of sounds whilst still retaining a heavy rock feel is no easy task, but Metallica have done so in this album extremely well.

Internationally recognised tracks such as 'Enter Sandman', 'The Unforgiven' and 'Nothing Else Matters' are among those on the album, as well as other great classics such as 'Wherever I May Roam' and 'My Friend Of Misery'. Every fan of heavy rock should own at least one Metallica album, and The Black Album is their best work.

Combining meaningful lyrics, amazing guitar riffs and solos, and great song writing, 'The Black Album' is must buy for any heavy rock / metal fan!
